Hi!<\/p>\n
I just started grade 12 and am trying to figure out what programs to apply to. I’m trying to look for the most effective way to combine business and political science- is it possible to double major in political science and some sort of business administration\/commerce at U of T?<\/p>\n
Thanks a bunch,<\/p>\n

Hey hey!!<\/p>\n
You actually have a few options here!<\/p>\n
So for all the number combos I’m about to give you, remember that in order to graduate you must have 20 credits<\/p>\n
Rotman Commerce actually doesn’t offer majors, only specializations. There are three different fields that you can specialize in. Here they are:<\/p>\n
1)Accounting Specialist (B.Com) = 15 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com<\/p>\n
2) Finance and Economics Specialist (B.Com) = 13.5 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com<\/p>\n
3) Management Specialist (B.Com) = 12 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So that leaves you space to take courses in another field (ie Poli Sci) in order graduate.<\/p>\n
a) Political Science Major = 7.0 POL full courses or their equivalent<\/p>\n
b) Political Science Minor = 4.0 Pol full courses or their equivalent
\nHere’s the basic formula for you:
\nOption 3 + Option a = 19 credits (ie good to go)
\nSo it’s up to you if you would like to have a major or minor in poli sci and if it exceed the 20 credits or not depending on the Commerce Specialization you choose .<\/p>\n
Oh geez there are more options. If economics is the field that what to study you can choose a non-rotmans\/commerce degree of economics, which has various specialists, majors and minors to choose from.<\/p>\n
So in short, yes, you can.<\/p>\n
